TALYOTTCN TALBOT COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY APRIL 17, 1870. The Way They Do Ir. One of those little incidents in seperablo from travel in Texas, is narrated in a late telegram front Sun Ultonia, Texas, to the St. Lout. Globe-Democrat ft occurred near the place bearing the eupltoneus and j suggestive name <f Peg l.og, on the j banks of the river San Sabi, on the j Eastern border ol Stake 1 l’l mis: The coach, laden with mail sacks and several passengers, coming < ast., bad approached within one mile ol ; Peg Leg. It was nine o'clock i t night, and the vobickle rock' and along m the dense and sombre shadows of the timber, bottom, or swamp of the San Saba. The diiver vas urg ing his horses up a smart ascent. : Tin )i issenger o , dreamy, tired, and half asleep, were suddenly startled i by the sharp ‘whoa!’ of the Jehu on the outside. 'I he stage stopped. ‘ls this alio her stopping pl.ua ?’ lazily inquired one of the pass n a r> ‘No.’ replied the driver cooliy’, but its Six Shooter Post office, I reckon. Tie- travelers began to lake the j hint, and were soon confirmed in j their suspicions wln-u they next heard a gruff voice order the driver to drive off to oie- side of the road. The vehicle moved, buts mil came to tl standstill again. In tiio mean time there was it tremendous and exciting flurry inside the singe,! though not a word was spoken. Each j passenger strove to see lmw much J be could conceal on Ids per-ou . All j went, to work hiding Jewelry an I mote y. Some stowed it uay in j Iht ir stockings, down 'lit ir backs, up their sloevos-any where. Ones uok I $lO in Ins shoe; olio secreted tin contents of his pocket, which, how- | ever lie kept r-< tdy, c mt lining only i one check and a make believe. The occupants of the coach now j pen-- ive 1 they were ii| the Ii ,nd- ol I ilte Philistines; nor u.t. they stir ' prised win n the same gruff voice is , In. fore plane I out: ‘V ufti'v. in 'h ie step out mo j by one, and if any man sh evs a six i slimuer'--it’d bow the top of hist head off Tito older was obeyed. The lirs p issenger to make his exit was a milidiry telegr-ipli op -r.itor, g u g to j Sa:i Antonia. Tin; boss robber ask ed lnm who and what be was. ‘l’m iu operator,’ said the tele ! grnphi t. ,'i’hen I’m d—cl certain you rntist have money. -Come, folk over. Pull off them shoes.’ Tlie updator, whoso overcoat one of the robbers thoroughly, was about r<■ 1 iiet 1 ill.tjy obeying, the highway man, when the latter seemingly be coming impatient, said: ‘Vail, I recon ymi needn’t take off , yorslme ; never mind ’em.’ The operator gave them SO, and Hived $lO lie had in his shoos. Af ter going through the man of elec tiicity and voltaic but cries, the rob tiers ordered him buck into the st.nge. A HOSE OF THEPBARIE. The n< xt man ordered out was a stage agent named Rose, who had formerly been stationed at Rio Pe | Co-. The young man got out. like one who is about to put his neck in the halter, ih.foie getting out Rose had stuck iiis lag six shooter in the waist-brad of his breeches, and 00 in currency which be bad in his porlemnntiaie lie stuffed around in his cloth s to the best of bis ability. He threw a blanket over his shoul ders, to.conceal the pistol which he afterwards mid. lie intended to use on the highwayman in case of din necessity. Asa blind he bad twenty lollars in silver in a tobacco box. Rose stepped out in the shadow of a urge trie, ami with the air of a man whose let dime is leaving him, ban and rl the bag to the boss robber, and said: 'Let me have a dollar and a half to get a. good squat a meal in Peg Leg u il’n, wont you?’ The robber made no reply, but failed to search Rose’s person. Hi ! S9OO escaped. One of the travelers, Max Lind j beira, was the next unfortunate to sti|i forth and confront the Highway j men. ‘Who the devil are you ?’ said th<- robber in-chief. ‘My n me is Max Lindheim. Who nrey >u?’ ‘.fLut up; git back thar an I fork I over every thing,’ was the stern re j ply from behind tho ominous and I mysterious mask. ‘Here’s all I've got: take it,’ said ' Lindheini in u broken down kind of way, at the same timo thrusting bis hand into bis bosom and pulling nut SB. ' j • I’urn them pockets inside out, and : that and and quick !’ exclaimed the chief j brigand. j Twelve dollars more resulted. 'Nmv bold ur* your ban Is, and | lcmnie see them rings of yourn.’ j ‘One of them is not. mine; the j i other is ti family relic,’ pleaded (he j nas.-enger as ho exhibited two bean, ifui rings, one evidently a momenta of a li.lv friend. ‘Well I don’t keer, you may keen j ’em. Haul off that over-coat thar!’ again came from behind the mask. I Tho garment was searched, and Lindheim ordered to re-enter the j coach. Tho list, passenger put, through the ordeal was a man numm Mu 1 r who had sdl) liideii at various place, on his p u'sim, but which ho ovaniu" ally lmd to surrender. ‘Golmiv arms?’ said the robbers 'Yes; inside tho the stage.’ ‘I io and bring ’em ’ Muller did so, and biinde.l the brigand a largo six-shooter with which Ini might nu.ilv have blown daylight through t vo others ut the vildans. Tito robber took tho ‘shooting iron,’ viewed it, through the mask an Isa ‘Yon may keep it; its old and worn out, and not worth a d—d.’ Hiving got through with the passengers, the brigands text <n,der ed the driver to throw down the luai p inches from under the seat. II del so. One of the. villains i lop -d op.-ti one of the saeks and tint rune- I therefrom several regia'ered packa ges. Asking tlm driver if ho hi Ii six shooter, and being alts ver,' ! i .

The exercise was kept up till the bandits had got through searching the stage. kite brigands then dis appeared as su l lenly ns they lmd emerged from the deep gloom Of ;he trees in tho ‘bott mi’ of the S iii Saba. fn regard to these robberies, now so frequent on the Texts frontier, the question his often been asked, why don’t the passengers, who ere generally well armed shoot? 'i In reason is, as on this occasion, not from cowardic' perhaps, but from the uncertainty of the nurnbet of the robbers, not knowing but several of the gang might be concealed near by to back their companions iu ca-e of trouble. Ci.oke or iiiK Siasux -A female was hanging out some clothes iu a j aril on Gaston street, when a bov i looked over the f. nee and culled out: ‘Htivciou h, eu any mud dogs go by here just now?’ ‘Mad dogs— rnotcy !’ gasped tile woman, and she threw four wet sheets on the ground in a heap nnd g .t into the bouse with tour bounds The boy maintained bis position. After a few moments tlie woman put her head out tho door and ask ed: ‘Have you ?’ ‘No !’ wits the calm reply; T guess the season for them has come ; to a close.’ ‘You arc a miserable boy ! \Vbv did yon alarm me so?’ she said as she op tt .il the door nnd stood on the step. ‘Who’s been alarmed ? . I guess if I want to find i mad dog I’ve got a right to inquire if any have gone by, haven't I ? You don’t expect me to go an 1 get out full sheet poster;; and leave 'em at houses, do you ? Hump! the idea that a boy can't even inquire about mad dogs !’ Kiilcm Fur IliiMb iiulM. Do not think when you have won ti wife that you have got, also, a slave. Do not think that your wife has Vhs feeling than your sweetheart. Her re atiou to you is simply chat g • ■ ed—not her nature.

Milk is found to form an excellent solvent for quinine, and also to dis guise, in a measure, the bitterness of tire drug. It will be found par ticularly useful in iitlministering qtii nine to children. Five grains in n tumblerful of milk is almost taslts less. Persons troubled with lent that j perspire, or smell offensively, can ef fect a cure by bathing them every night, or oftener in a strong solutioi borax.
